Rain, rain go away and don't come back until my hay is done! Ugh, the weather is not cooperating and neither is the equipment. We bought a "new" used rake and are already having problems with it. Not good news with the rain we're getting. We still have about 40 acres down with another 20 still to cut. Stupid weather!
Molly and I went to Spokane Valley last weekend where I spoke at a private property rights seminar. The program focused on shoreline and critical area regulations and was really well done. A portion covered the science, another covered the legal issues and I covered policies and politics. The folks who attended asked great questions and are really well informed.
We've got a small load of heifers coming in this weekend and will be sending a load of fresh roping steers to the westside later this month. We've got about 50 acres we need to get fenced before winter gets here, but that should go fairly easily assuming we don't run into new and exciting problems. :-)
Waterfowl season is less then 2 weeks away and I can't wait to get Ruger out for the first time. He's still a little young for "big" water, but he's doing great and ready for short, shallow water hunts. Last night I worked him with a couple of scented dummies, hidden in thick grass. We walked around the pasture and when he caught scent, he quartered ground until he found the dummy. It was really cool to watch.
I only have a couple of meetings this week, bu next week is going to be a busy one. I have to go over to Olympia at least one day (maybe two) and have meetings the rest of the week. The Governor recently sent out an email letting the Legislature know she thinks we'll be looking at a $2 million budget problem in November, instead of the $1.3 billion announced a couple of weeks ago. Is waiting until November 28th for a Special Session worth an addition $700 million in deficits? I sure don't think so.
